If you were still married, than Yes, you would be entitled to his SS & maybe, VA benefits. I Was told by SS & Hubby: VA benefits depends on whether you were Married B4 he retired from the Service. But, I would suggest you call & hug that phone till you get answers about SS.

Good to see you & Hope you are doing well. Despite the loss of your ex. May he Rest in Peace.

I sat there for over 3 hrs but had all the right info for the first time in my life. I had all the stuff in my date book. tests EEGs, MRIs, CTs, and others and who initiated them. I had all the cards of the doctors with their names and phone and fax #s on them. For some reason I was meant to have all that stuff. I had to sit but it only took 45 minutes to go thru everything to get it processed. that was in Jan of 03 nad I got the back oayment in June of 03. 4 digit number.I have had no trouble with it but when we moved to Hawi'i It got pulled because Jasyn made too mucj money.Good Luck to you and I hope you get itl I was not even turned down the first try either.Nancy
